Title:
ULTRA-HIGH TEMPERATURE MILK CONCENTRATE PACKAGE AND METHOD OF PRODUCING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002089591
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
The method comprises heating a milk starting product to an elevated pasteurizing temperature under reduced pressure for an amount of time sufficient to evaporate liquid from the milk starting product to form a pasteurized, high-solids intermediate liquid milk concentrate, mixing an amount of cream with the intermediate milk concentrate to form a condensed liquid blend having a preselected amount of fat content to produce a reconstituted milk beverage having the desired taste characteristics, and adding a stabilizer material effective to ensure uniform distribution of and prohibit separation and settling of milk solids in the ultrapasteurized liquid milk concentrate during storage. The final liquid milk concentrate is ultrapasteurized, homogenized and packaged to form an ultrapasteurized liquid milk concentrate package for subsequent mixing of the ultrapasteurized milk concentrate with water to form said reconstituted milk beverage.
